MItre saw
May 18^th, 2007, 6:43pm

Hi all

JUst a diyer who owns two rental properties and seem to lay a bit of laminate flooring. I was gonna buy a v cheap electrical mitre saw for about £30 to help with the cuts. The machines are small and im wondering if i need the more expensive pull across the wood type machine rather than the pull down version. THe machine will only be used for the odd bit of skirting and laminate floors.

ANy advice?

Thanks

normal laminate is around 200mm [8"]wide so you need to check the capacity of the laminate and the saw

cheaper saws have course [few teeth saw blades] that will chip a bit and splinter a bit you can cut upside down if the dammage is to much

a cheap saw will be fine for laminate laminate skitings and archatraves but may be a bit inaccurate which may require tinkering to get a good fit on the skirting dado and archatrave
